Running a simple shell script as a cronjob

Question

I have a very simple shell script I need to run as a cronjob but I can\'t get even the test scripts to run. Here\'s and example script:

/home/myUser/scripts/test.sh<

Answer 1

Specify complete path and grant proper permission to scriptfile. I tried following script file to run through cron:

#!/bin/bash
/bin/mkdir /scratch/ofsaaweb/CHEF_FICHOME/ficdb/bin/crondir

And crontab command is

* * * * * /bin/bash /scratch/ofsaaweb/CHEF_FICHOME/ficdb/bin/test.sh

It worked for me.
